Hey LAM, got a new family float.

[sonicss31]

Love the boat, I sure hope you keep the 280’s on it. Keeping them freshened up is not a big deal as long as you don’t hurt them before.

I'm going to use them next season and kinda go from there. Supposeably 35hrs on them. Going to do a leak down and compression test tomorrow to get a base.

Part of me wants to throw two 300xs with 15" mids on it.

It's been tried before, they are just too heavy. 280's are 375 lbs, the 300's are 525 lbs, no one has pulled if off yet. Figure it out and I'm right behind you, I would miss the sound though.

Yeah I was thinking about it on the way home yesterday. I would have to move 300lbs forward some how. Let's see how old rebuilding the 280s get.

Congratulations on your new boat. The rear seating is a real plus if not beaching it. Been following that boat for a couple years. Awesome family hot rod. I've got one with 225 promaxes. Super fun boat under reasonable h20 conditions. You're going to absolutely love it.

If you could find Optimax 200xs that’s another option. They’re a Merc racing motor that’s basically a reved up 175 Optimax.

They are docile like an Optimax but weigh significantly less than a 300xs

Mach 22 with 200s get really close to 100mph.

I'm probably not gonna do anything with the motors tbh. I really want a new trailer.

Thanks man! Yeah wife loves the seating. She said she could bring more friends.

I love the Mach 22s with twins. And that one is my favorite of them all. I have spent some time in a couple if them. Awesome boats.

Too bad you don't know a guy who builds beautiful trailers!

I'm sure you will make this beautiful platform even better once you get your hands on it!

I know how much that stuff costs!!

Nice flote!

 

[HydroSkreamin]

Nice ride!

Single 450R would be pretty cool

Looking forward to seeing you put your personal touches on it.

 

[rivermobster]

Awesome float and congrats! It looks like junior approves too, I am guessing he can tell that is one fun hot rod right there.

There is nothing quite like the sound of those 280's spun up.

Have fun.

Yep, what he said. ^^^

Congrats!

 

[RiverDave]

Always loved that boat!

 

[Badchoices03]

Nice fkn boat....congrats!

Those 280's can last quite a while. In my experience, good fuel is the key.

I plan on only using Av fuel. Replacing all the fuel filters and pumps now. Hopefully will be good.

 

[MARCYTECH]

[81Sprint]

I loved having the Brucato ECU and the Steamwheel on mine. It had a history of leaning out #6 Cylinder twice and Kaboom on the Factory ECU's

In the Channel, I could lean it out a bit to not load up and smoke which was nice.but just had to remember to turn it back to middle when taking off, hehe.

Brucato Steamwheel - Brucato Power

Adjust the main fuel delivery from the driver’s seat - the Brucato Steamwheel allows for even easier on-the-water adjustment of the ACU!
